Sacred Trample

After finishing the absorption of the Sacred Invocation Sacred Left Leg Bone, a satisfied Shao Zhuang began to sleep.

Although it was already late at night, there were still three or four hours left to rest.

Today, it was the Heavenly Curtain's turn to expose Ye Xishui—that would be a massive bombshell.

It would perfectly link up with yesterday's monologues from Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, creating a stunning reversal upon reversal.

And precisely because of this, Shao Zhuang needed to conserve his energy to observe the reactions of the audience and the world.

Time flew by in an instant, and before he knew it, day had broken.

Shao Zhuang got up, washed up, and prepared to go out for breakfast.

He was quite curious about the three daily meals arranged for him by Shrek Academy.

Just what kind of food could match the dormitory the academy had provided on the second floor of the Sea God Pavilion?

As Shao Zhuang walked into the small dining room on the same floor—clearly a temporary conversion—a middle-aged beauty in a spotless white robe and a chef's hat pushed a dining cart in, as if it had all been rehearsed.

Familiar with the original work, Shao Zhuang naturally knew who this person was.

Lu Xiaoxiao, the academy's top nutritionist.

In the original story, when Huo Yuhao and He Caitou began their extreme training, she was the one who guided them on how to eat properly.

Thus, Shao Zhuang's anticipation grew even stronger.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Lu Xiaoxiao, the academy's top nutritionist. From now on, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I will personally guide you in dietary supplementation and be responsible for your breakfast and main meals."

Lu Xiaoxiao introduced herself to Shao Zhuang and explained her duties.

When facing Shao Zhuang, she showed great respect.

Although Shao Zhuang had not yet obtained the identities and achievements exposed in the Heavenly Curtain, no one dared to underestimate him.

Especially to the old sages and teachers of Shrek Academy, Shao Zhuang was essentially the future Sea God Pavilion Master.

Therefore, when dealing with him, they naturally adopted a very favorable attitude to leave a good impression.

"This is your first dish this morning: Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin."

With that, Lu Xiaoxiao took a teacup from the dining table and placed it before Shao Zhuang.

"Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin is a very rare and special seafood. The moment it's caught, a specialist preserves it using a unique method and transports it to the academy as quickly as possible."

As Lu Xiaoxiao introduced the Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin, Shao Zhuang opened the teacup.

Unlike the strong fishy smell that Huo Yuhao and He Caitou experienced in the original story, Shao Zhuang detected a clear, pleasant aroma.

The only similarity to the dietary supplement in the original work was likely that the Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin was still alive.

"To ensure the nutrients of the Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin aren't lost, it must be eaten raw."

"However, to give you a better experience, a specialized chef has processed it, removing the original fishy taste and adding spices to complement it."

"Without affecting the nutrition, it also provides a better flavor and texture..."

As if sensing Shao Zhuang's question, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately explained.

Compared to the treatment Huo Yuhao and He Caitou received in the original story, it was like heaven and earth.

This was only natural, as the future achievements Shao Zhuang had displayed far surpassed those of Huo Yuhao and He Caitou at that stage in the original work.

And that was precisely why this dietary supplement was so preferential.

'It tastes this good?!'

As soon as the Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin entered his mouth, though it wriggled, it felt like an incredibly bouncy jelly, and it was absolutely delicious.

The soul master responsible for preparing the Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin was truly extraordinary, highly skilled.

"For us human soul masters, consuming Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin nourishes our soul, enhances our Spiritual Power and comprehension, and while relieving mental fatigue, it also makes us smarter."

As Shao Zhuang ate, Lu Xiaoxiao introduced the corresponding effects of the dish.

After he finished the Spiritual Rhyme Sea Urchin, she picked up the second dish and placed it before Shao Zhuang.

Then, she repeated the same process.

"This second dish is called Peony Lobster..." As she spoke, Lu Xiaoxiao produced a silver carving knife and began preparing an incredibly fresh sashimi on the spot.

This dietary supplement left Shao Zhuang thoroughly satisfied.

When breakfast was over, Lu Xiaoxiao pushed the dining cart and left.

Shao Zhuang also prepared to go out and stretch his limbs, taking the chance to test the soul skill attached to the Sacred Invocation Sacred Left Leg Bone.

In truth, after absorbing it last night, he had wanted to give it a try.

But the room wasn't suitable for demonstration, and making too much noise wouldn't have been ideal.

So he saved it for the next day.

"Junior Disciple Brother, how was your night? Did absorbing the soul bone help you complete your Martial Soul Evolution?"

Just as Shao Zhuang got up, Yan Shaozhe appeared before him as if on cue.

There was good reason to suspect he had been waiting outside specifically.

As soon as they met, Yan Shaozhe eagerly asked about what had happened the previous night.

For safety and privacy, every room in the Sea God Pavilion was equipped with a specialized formation.

Thus, even though Yan Shaozhe was right upstairs guarding the teacher, so close by, he couldn't sense a single thing about the commotion in Shao Zhuang's room.

"It evolved, but not completely." Shao Zhuang gave a brief summary of last night's situation.

"That's good news, Junior Disciple Brother. You can complete your Martial Soul Evolution ahead of schedule, and this gap in time is perfect for relaxing and resting."

Knowing that Shao Zhuang's martial soul would fully evolve before long, Yan Shaozhe was in high spirits.

As long as the evolution truly happened, even waiting a few extra days was the smallest matter imaginable.

Moreover, compared to the situation with the Heavenly Curtain, the completion date was actually quite a bit earlier.

"So what does Junior Disciple Brother plan to do next? Does your senior brother need to take you for a stroll around Shrek Academy?"

Soon after, Yan Shaozhe offered Shao Zhuang a suitable suggestion, appearing quite enthusiastic.

"Senior Brother, here's the thing. I plan to first go outside and test the soul skill attached to my soul bone, then take a walk around the academy."

Shao Zhuang didn't refuse Yan Shaozhe's proposal.

After all, this way, when the Heavenly Curtain exposed things, he could observe others' reactions.

Especially Yan Shaozhe's unique identity.

Shao Zhuang was very eager to see what kind of reaction Yan Shaozhe would have when he learned of his true identity.

"Alright, then let's go."

With that said, Yan Shaozhe and Shao Zhuang left the Sea God Pavilion together.
